Katie has been responsible for my hair since she started behind the chair 10+ years ago. She and her team have seen me through a million phases of my life and all of the highlights, lowlights, and gray blending that comes along with that. I trust Katie and her stylists implicitly, mostly relying on their recommendations since I have no vision of the specifics of what my hair should look like. I don't know how she does it, but Katie has a way of asking all the right questions to figure out what I'm looking for and executing that vision with little to no direction from me. I appreciate the full disclosue of the amount of time, upkeep, and financial investment each service will take. When I started a new job and didn't have as much time to spend at the salon, Katie rolled with it and adjusted her magic to suit my new lifestyle. I have never left the salon feeling less than amazing, full of confidence, and feeling great about myself. I've seen other stylists at the salon when my schedule hasn't meshed with Katie's and have had the same wonderful experience. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone on her team. I has been a joy to see her grow into the amazing business own that she is, investing in herself and her time. I love the supportive vibe of the salon and will continue to stick with them as long as I have hair on my head. read more

I went in for a new look, I had box dyed my hair an auburn red/brown and was afraid I wasn't going to be able to achieve my dream hair which was a honey brown balayage. I was greeted by my hair stylist Alexa and she gave me a breakdown of what may happen. I was very worried my hair wasn't going to come out so well because of my actions (lol). I believed that Alexa could at least even out my hair color so I gave her the Okay! And finally after hours of doing her magic I was amazed with what Alexa had done. She gave me exactly what I wanted. She made it possible, I immediately fell in love with my hair and was so proud of how amazing of a job she did . On top of that the Modern Muse Beauty salon made me feel welcomed and safe with my hair. If you needed someone to tell you to go get your hair done here...GO! I promise you will be satisfied.....thank you for the amazing work Alexa ! read more

This salon is a gem. Katie clearly cares about the integrity of her clients' hair, and about ensuring that they get the color they want.

I can't recommend this place more!!! Adam is phenomenal and answered all of my questions about getting a perm. The transformation was exactly what I wanted and he really took the time to listen and perfect my hair!!! The entire staff here is kind and cool and I feel like they all love what they do!! Adam's knowledge and advice on products and aftercare left me feeling confident to maintain my new curls & waves! read more

I booked an appointment with Alexa B. She did a fantastic job and knew exactly what i want. She made me feel comfortable and kept me informed during the whole process. I got highlights and a trim and the outcome was exactly what i wanted. The salon was very clean and decorated so cozy and felt welcoming. I booked a follow up appointment right after to see Alexa again because she did such an amazing job. 10/10 recommend this place and Alexa. read more

Long overdue review...I LOVE this salon! I've lived in Austin for 7 years and have visited multiple salons around town. Modern Muse is the best, hands down. I see Katie for haircuts, Katie L. for waxing, and Rae for brows. Not only do I always feel like a million bucks when I leave but I've also learned things that no other stylist or aesthetician has told me in my entire 49 years on this planet. These ladies are insanely knowledgeable and passionate about their fields. It REALLY shows!! Can't wait for my next appointment! read more

I am, like, the antithesis of girly. I've never had a pedicure. I thought Bird's barbershop was luxurious. However, the last few times I dropped in they had a super long wait (I know they do call-aheads but that was part of their charm, I didn't have to plan), so I asked my husband who loves to research things to find me a salon and I'd try a legit one. Hence, why I walked into Modern Muse on a Sunday at 2pm with an appointment for Madison. I'm so glad I did. Between she and Katie, I not only received a beautiful haircut and style which had my coworkers raving the next day, they educated me on some products I should use and techniques for lazy girls with curly hair. The product was not cheap, but dang, I have this great curly hair with approximately 30 seconds of time investment each morning. Much different than the frizz-tastic mess it was before. I will be back. As someone quoted below, these are my people now. read more

Maddie came recommended by my hair stylist and I am so ecstatic that I went with her! She did an incredible job on my hair and makeup and got my look exactly on-point. She also nailed my electric blue, wing tip eyeliner and it turned out AMAZING in photos. My big, blue side braid turned out just as I'd envisioned it. I felt like total diva the whole night and couldn't have been happier. Exceptional work! read more

After my last stylist moved, it took me years and lots of bad haircuts to find the right stylist for me. But I finally stumbled upon Isabel and have been seeing here for nearly 2 years now! She's so kind, consistent, and honest in her approach. I love how she approaches the conversation when it comes to changing things up, and is realistic in the upkeep that will come with those changes. You can tell she wants to educate you on the style so they you are set up for success, outside that chair! So thankful to have found her and locked her down as my stylist! read more

I've been seeing Maddie for over five years, and my experience each time is better than before. She has worked with me to create a plan to cover my grey hair and her color skills are amazing! She's great at hair cutting also. read more

I switched to Modern Muse Beauty Collective about a year ago after getting a referral from a friend. After my first visit, I never looked back! Modern Muse salon is consistently comfortable, clean, professional and friendly. My cuts and color with Elysse are something I look forward to! She is so attentive and personable, and a true expert in her field. My Joy of Beauty facials with Katie L. are a relaxing escape that always leaves my skin glowing! I also recently got my eye brows tinted and waxed by Katie, and I am hooked! Her skin, health and beauty expertise is second to none. read more

I puffy heart LOVE this salon! I'm not a girly girl so going to the salon has always been a bit intimidating to me. But there's something special about Modern Muse Beauty Collective. There's an all-inclusive, welcoming vibe that flows through the salon. The stylists are wildly talented, caring and funny and they know their stuff! They've even been able to teach a tomboy like me how to do my hair in ways that garner praise from others. I've been going here for 10 years and have never considered going elsewhere. read more

Omg - Maddie Born is the best. I have terrible hair and am never happy but I have found my answer!! Maddie is the best!!

I have to say Marcos is a hair magician! I had a major color correction and he saved my hair and got me back to my old self! I drive almost 3 hours each way to see him and that speaks for himself! He is my stylist for life- I will follow him anywhere! read more

Katie and the Modern Muse team are amazing! They made my wedding day even more special! Katie is incredibly talented in both makeup and hair up-dos. She was set to do my make-up for the wedding and then she kindly stepped in after the hair stylist I planned to work with wasn't able to make it. I'm so glad she did! The trial was so useful to understand the range of makeup styles that could be used. Katie is super easy to work with - reliable, responsive, and professional. She was so friendly with the bridal party, mom, and mother-in-law and made all of us feel at ease. Would totally recommend Modern Muse for anyone looking to feel and look beautiful on their special day! read more

Beautiful, bright, clean space. Easy online system and super nice people. Most importantly, best hair cut ever!!

Chara is a hair goddess! We chatted realistically about my hair goals and she was able to take me from blonde to dark brunette in two salon appointments. The price is affordable and the quality is perfection. Katie & Chara are a professional and hilarious dynamic duo. Side note: Katie was my makeup artist for my best friend's wedding and she absolutely killed it. Go see these ladies immediately. You will love the results. read more

I cannot day enough good things about the service I received from Katie and her team today. Katie gave me a root touch up, full balyage and cut. Never once did I feel like she was rushing my experience or care. She came up with a plan to help me achieve my hair goals while still maintaining the health of my hair. I walked away feeling like an absolute queen. Thank you, Katie! read more

I had long hair to the middle of my back and I kept it long because I didn't know where to go to have my hair cut. I had, had bad experiences. I went on line and saw Modern Muse and the positive reviews so I showed up without an appointment hoping I could get something done. I wanted a new Me! I wanted my hair cut to my collar bone to lift my face and I needed to balance out the hair color that I had been doing myself. I was referred to Elise. I am so pleased. She gave me beautiful highlights that blended with my white that was coming in and the color (drug store) that I put in my hair (Med. gold blond) was blended into a beautiful natural highlight and I will be going back for the low lights. I also to my surprise, received a complimentary gift from the salon. I've never had that happen. I am over the moon with my hair and, I get a lot of compliments. I highly recommend Modern Muse. Everyone is so sweet. Try it! You won't be disappointed. Elise is wonderful. read more

Katie is an artist! I have been going to her for about 2 years. My hair has never looked better and been more healthy. She is always open and honest about what she can do with your hair and how long it will take to accomplish it. I have had baleage, purple hair, pink hair, deep conditioning my treatments, extensions and glazes done by her. Her whole team is amazing (Chara is the baleage and shampooing magician) I also get regular blowouts from her! She can do everything! read more

I found Katie through a friend and visited her at her old salon. She did my makeup for a photoshoot (stunning!) and has been cutting my hair ever since. I keep my hair short in a fringy bob of sorts. It's baby fine and I don't like to mess with it much. Katie really took the time to get to know my hair - the first time she cut it she agonized over this one spot (my funky cowlick) and even had a trusted coworker come over and review. At first, this gave me a glimmer of doubt, but that cut came out great. It looked great on day one, and even looked good once it had grown out a bit. She has cut it at least three more times since and now doesn't have to think twice about how to cut my hair to make it behave. She has also given styling advice at how best to manage it. She listens to me and asks for feedback, but also offers her professional opinion. I always feel like its a perfect compromise of what I want (or think I wanted, ha) and what my hair can and will do naturally. Katie also happens to be a sweetheart, a kick ass mama and business owner and I always enjoy our chats :-) Reasonable pricing, easy online booking, convenient location, and plenty of parking. Link for booking is hard to find, here ya go: https://www.vagaro.com/ModernMuseBeauty# read more

It's always hard finding your "person" for your hair. After trying 3 other color/style experts, Katie came highly recommend and I'm so glad I found her. She's so skilled and her passion shows in all her clients. I always walk out my appoints feeling like I'm walking on air. She's simply amazing. read more

The makeup artist I had scheduled for my wedding decided to move pretty close to the wedding date. I didn't know what to do! Enter: Katie! On a recommendation from a friend, I met up with Katie for a trial. I liked what she did. Between the trial and the wedding day, I changed my mind - Katie rolled with it, made some changes, and I looked amazing for my wedding. She saved the day!! Katie is so sweet and so amazing - I would definitely recommend her for any of your styling needs - hair or makeup. read more

Katie did my makeup and hair for my wedding yesterday and made me look and feel amazing. My wedding coordinator had suggested her and I decided to book the trial on the day of our wedding shower so I could put the look to good use. Whenever I walked into my shower everyone was blown away by how great a job she did. She even changed up my hair at the end so nobody would know what the final look was. Yesterday for my wedding she showed up right on time and ready to go. I loved her styling from the trial so much I decided to get my bridesmaids done as well. Katie made sure that all of us were looking good and ready to go by picture time and all the girls were thrilled with their hair. My makeup was absolutely flawless and my hair looked incredible. Everyone at the wedding had so many compliments I felt like a princess. I am so glad to have had someone as talented and fun as she was to help me look my best. I will definitely be calling her for any future events that I want to look gorgeous at! read more
